Chapter 144

When Jing Xian returned home, she felt as if she were in another world.

After the reform and opening up, the whole country has undergone tremendous changes.

There are more food vendors on the street, and many young men and women wear bell-bottom pants, have permed hair, and sing the most popular songs.

High-rise buildings also began to rise from the ground.

There was a vague shadow similar to the end of the world.

The children stayed around Jingxian for two days and then went back to school.

Xiaowu is still the same, not a talkative person.

But learning is amazing.

In order to take care of his younger sister, he did not skip a grade, but went to school step by step.

After graduation, Damao joined a state agency.

Xiao Mao and Tiedan took the entrance exam to military academy together.

Fusheng continued his studies and passed the postgraduate entrance examination.

Grandma is in good health and hasn't changed much compared to a few years ago.

The same goes for grandma.

Jing Xian once secretly used her supernatural powers to warm their bodies at night.

There is no news from mom yet.

She didn't want her grandma and grandpa to leave with regrets.

The two old people were very happy to see Jingxian come back, and they were reluctant to let go of Jingxian's hands.

A few days later, Shang Nanchen came to the capital on a business trip.

The moment he appeared in military uniform, the Song family was stunned.

The family sat together and had a reunion dinner.

Jing Xian took Shang Nanchen back to their own home.

Shang Nanchen hugged Jing Xian and said, "I'm afraid I'll have to stay in the capital this time."

Jing Xian's eyes widened in surprise: "Is this true?"

"The transfer order hasn't come down yet. But I don't have to go back. After a few days of rest, I'll go directly to report to the military district here."

When Shang Nanchen saw Jing Xian's happy look, he suddenly felt that it was all worth it.

"That's great! That's great!"

Jingxian was so happy that she didn't know what to say.

She had studied very hard in college in order to graduate early. One day, she suddenly realized that it would be better to travel around the world instead of learning some knowledge that she already knew.

She can use her skills to change many things.

For example, secretly improving the seeds of crops at that time.

Go to the local Agricultural Science Institute to intern for a period of time.

Although Jing Xian has been at the border these years, she has not been idle.

The sweet corn she developed has now become Tianxiang Sweet Corn No. 7, with a yield of up to 3,000 kilograms per mu.

The wheat yield per mu is 1,600 kilograms.

The rice yield per mu in Xishi reached 1,600 kilograms.

If this is truly achieved, the people will be able to fill their stomachs.

Even so, Jing Xian still felt there was a void somewhere in her heart.

It was not until this moment that she realized that she had always been looking forward to living with Shang Nanchen's family.

"Before, I thought that now that the children are grown up, they can stay with their father, but I can go back to be with you. I didn't expect you to stay in the capital."

This is truly a pleasant surprise, and a huge one at that.

Shang Nanchen hugged Jing Xian distressedly: "Thank you for your hard work these years."

Although Jing Xian was at the border, she had few opportunities to meet Shang Nanchen.

Many times he heard about Jing Xian from other people.

"Why would I have to work so hard? What I do is just trivial, nothing compared to what you do. You are the ones who are really working hard."

After all, they are protecting everyone with their lives.

The couple stayed in their yard until dark, and no one came to disturb them.

Shang Nanchen saw the time and pulled Jing Xian out: "If we don't go over for dinner, our family will definitely be worried."

"No."

When Jingxian came over, she had already greeted Comrade Jingfeng.

After dinner, the family went back to their own homes and looked for their own mothers.

Shang Nanchen took up his post less than three days after taking a rest.

Close to home, weekend

You can come back.

This is the best outcome for Jingxian and the children.

Jingxian returns to school to take the exam.

She came out of the examination room and went to the dormitory to pack her things.

Unexpectedly, just as she finished packing her things, Shen Jiaqing and the others came back.

When Shen Jiaqing saw Jing Xian, she was surprised that she hadn't changed at all over the years.

"Hey, who is this? Isn't this Jing Xian? So you weren't expelled from school?"

Shen Jiaqing still dislikes Jingxian just like when she first entered the school.

Jing Xian ignored her and went downstairs with her luggage.

As soon as she reached the stairs, she saw a tall man standing at the door.

When he saw her coming out, he immediately walked up to her and reached out to take the luggage in her hand.

Jing Xian asked in surprise: "Why are you here?"

"Hasn't your exam today already ended? You're never going to come to school again, right?" Shang Nanchen asked her.

Jing Xian nodded: "Actually, I should have taken the luggage away earlier, but I didn't expect to be away for so long, so I didn't take the luggage with me."

"If you can think of all this, then wouldn't you be a god?" Shang Nanchen put Jingxian's luggage in the trunk.

He came over and opened the passenger door for her so she could get in.

Dormitory building, on the balcony.

Shen Jiaqing saw this scene, and said with jealousy and sourness: "Come and see! Jing Xian really brazenly changed a man again."

"Really?"

The others and people from other dormitories leaned their heads out to look down.

Damao happened to be back at school to get something, and when he knew Jingxian was packing her luggage today, he hurried over to help.

When he saw Shang Nanchen, he shouted, "Dad, why are you here? Are you here to pick up my mom?"

"Do you think I'm here to pick you up?" Shang Nanchen said unhappily.

Da Mao smiled and said, "Then I will leave first and not disturb you two."

Everyone upstairs who were ready to watch the show were shocked.

They had already stopped Shen Jiaqing from gossiping that Jing Xian's lover was a much older man than her and was a second-married man.

But now, when she saw the handsome man who was driving out to pick up Jingxian, her jaw dropped.

Tang Su arrived late.

She didn't meet Jing Xian and Shang Nanchen.

However, when she returned to school, she heard others talking about Jing Xian and heard Shen Jiaqing saying sarcastic things.

He sneered and said sarcastically, "How can you think that someone like you has the qualifications to judge and envy Jing Xian? If you hadn't been admitted to the same school, you would never have spoken to someone like Jing Xian in your life. In the future, you will know that he is someone you need to look up to for the rest of your life."

"You are not afraid of saying such things. The wind will blow your tongue away." Shen Jiaqing has already decided to work in a foreign affairs department. That's why she looks down on people like Tang Su. "Aren't you just related to Jing Xian's family? Why do you have to be so humble and act like a pug?"

Tang Su didn't expect Shen Jiaqing to say such harsh words, and immediately said with a sullen face: "Frog in the well."

"You are the frog in the well. Your whole family is the frog in the well."

Shen Jiaqing was particularly happy when she scolded him.

When Shen Jiaqing returned home in the evening, her father was watching the news. Every time at this time, Shen Jiaqing would sit down and watch it with her father.

Shen Jiaqing was sitting on the sofa absent-mindedly when she suddenly heard a familiar name mentioned in the news. She stared at the TV with wide eyes.

On TV, the person I had just seen during the day was actually wearing a simple white coat, standing there and speaking seriously.

There are subtitles below, stating her occupation and identity.

Her father sighed beside her and said, "The people in the north of our country can fill their stomachs so quickly and transport food out, all thanks to Comrade Jing Xian. She has traveled far and wide over the years and researched many high-quality crops. People like her are the backbone of the country!"

"I heard that this comrade is also from your A University. Have you met her?" Mr. Shen asked Shen Jiaqing.

Shen Jiaqing shook her head with a pale face.

"No."

“Talents like these don’t stay in school all day, but in laboratories and experimental bases.”

Shen Jiaqing didn't know how she got back to her room. Until this moment, she finally understood what Tang Su meant.

People like Jing Xian are indeed people she needs to look up to.

While she was still feeling smug about having a particularly good job, Jing Xian had already become someone she could never catch up with no matter how hard she tried.

When Jing Xian was receiving the award, she suddenly saw a lady standing not far away, staring at her blankly.

Just then, the lady also came on stage.

When Jing Xian heard her name, she raised her head suddenly. She finally understood why there had been no news about her mother for so many years.

It turned out that it wasn't that she didn't want to tell her relatives where she was, but that she couldn't.

There have been many people who left their homes quietly, not allowing their loved ones to find them, and letting them think they were dead.

Jingxian had heard of it before.

But she never thought that her mother was also one of them.

The commendation ceremony ended.

Everyone took a big group photo.

After the photo shoot, Jingxian walked towards the woman. The woman was moved and stopped there, quietly watching Jingxian walking towards her.

Jing Xian looked at her and smiled.

She said, "Hello, Mr. Song Zhixu, do you know a child named Jingxian?"

Song Zhixu's emotions, which were well controlled at first, collapsed at this moment.

She nodded vigorously, and even though she was choking with sobs, her words were very clear and particularly elegant.

"More than 20 years ago, I gave birth to a child. Because I accepted the call of my motherland, I had to leave. So I was separated from my child. I thought we would never see each other again in this separation."

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Song Zhixu." Jing Xian stretched out her hand and made a hugging gesture.

Song Zhixu also smiled and reached out to hug Jing Xian.

"It's nice to see you again, my daughter."
